5. Linebacker

As noted earlier with the defensive line, the Titans held most teams to 28 points or less. Minus a couple of hiccups, it was a decent year on that side of the ball.

The problem, though, is after the upcoming season, Tennessee won’t have any inside linebackers under contract. Everybody currently on the roster at ILB will be eligible to hit the market.

One name to watch is Zack Baun out of Wisconsin. Baun is considered one fo the best all-around linebackers ni the draft alongside Patrick Queen of LSU and Kenneth Murray of Oklahoma, with Clemson’s Isaiah Simmons being a virtual top-10 lock.

Tennessee’s defense is good, so they realistically wouldn’t need a ton of help here. Still, it will be interesting to see what moves it makes in free agency and the upcoming draft in this regard.
